[SCSI] Pass proper device from BusLogic to SCSI layer

While trying to get SUSE's SLES9 working on system with more than 4GB we've
noticed that SCSI layer happilly passes addresses over 4GB to the buslogic
driver, which is quite a big problem as buslogic can generate only 32bit
busmastering cycles.

Fortunately in the current kernels this problem does not exist anymore as
SCSI layer now assumes 4GB capable device by default, but it is still good
idea to pass correct device structure to the SCSI layer.  If nothing else,
/sys/block/sda/device now points to
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:10.0/host0/...  instead of
/sys/devices/platform/host0/...  like it did in the past.

Change does nothing for ISA based BusLogic adapters, they'll still end
under platform (and they are probably broken for long time as I do not see
anything forcing ISA 16MB limit for them).

o Problem occurs because in trampoline code, lgdt is not able to load the

[PATCH] x86_64: ioapic virtual wire mode fix

o Currently, during kexec reboot, IOAPIC is re-programmed back to virtual
  wire mode if there was an i8259 connected to it. This enables getting
  timer interrupts in second kernel in legacy mode.

o After putting into virtual wire mode, IOAPIC delivers the i8259 interrupts
  to CPU0. This works well for kexec but not for kdump as we might crash
  on a different CPU and second kernel will not see timer interrupts.

o This patch modifies the redirection table entry to deliver the timer
  interrupts to the cpu we are rebooting (instead of hardcoding to zero).
  This ensures that second kernel receives timer interrupts even on a
  non-boot cpu.

Eric W. Biederman [Wed, 11 Jan 2006 21:46:06 +0000 (22:46 +0100)]
[PATCH] x86_64: Memorize location of i8259 for reboots.

Currently we attempt to restore virtual wire mode on reboot, which only
works if we can figure out where the i8259 is connected.  This is very
useful when we are kexec another kernel and likely helpful to an peculiar
BIOS that make assumptions about how the system is setup.

Since the acpi MADT table does not provide the location where the i8259 is
connected we have to look at the hardware to figure it out.

Most systems have the i8259 connected the local apic of the cpu so won't be
affected but people running Opteron and some serverworks chipsets should be
able to use kexec now.

In addition this patch removes the hard coded assumption that the io_apic
that delivers isa interrups is always known to the kernel as io_apic 0.
There does not appear to be anything to guarantee that assumption is true.

And From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com>

  A minor fix to the patch which remembers the location of where i8259 is
  connected.  Now counter i has been replaced by apic.  counter i is having
  some junk value which was leading to non-detection of i8259 connected to
  IOAPIC.

[PATCH] x86_64: Use function pointers to call DMA mapping functions

AK: I hacked Muli's original patch a lot and there were a lot
of changes - all bugs are probably to blame on me now.
There were also some changes in the fall back behaviour
for swiotlb - in particular it doesn't try to use GFP_DMA
now anymore. Also all DMA mapping operations use the
same core dma_alloc_coherent code with proper fallbacks now.
And various other changes and cleanups.

Known problems: iommu=force swiotlb=force together breaks
                needs more testing.

This patch cleans up x86_64's DMA mapping dispatching code. Right now
we have three possible IOMMU types: AGP GART, swiotlb and nommu, and
in the future we will also have Xen's x86_64 swiotlb and other HW
IOMMUs for x86_64. In order to support all of them cleanly, this
patch:

- introduces a struct dma_mapping_ops with function pointers for each
  of the DMA mapping operations of gart (AMD HW IOMMU), swiotlb
  (software IOMMU) and nommu (no IOMMU).

- gets rid of:

  if (swiotlb)
      return swiotlb_xxx();

- PCI_DMA_BUS_IS_PHYS is now checked against the dma_ops being set
This makes swiotlb faster by avoiding double copying in some cases.

John Blackwood [Wed, 11 Jan 2006 21:44:15 +0000 (22:44 +0100)]
[PATCH] x86_64: Report hardware breakpoints in user space when triggered by the kernel

I would like to throw out a suggestion for a possible change in the way that
the debug register traps are handled in do_debug() when the trap occurs
in kernel-mode.

In the x86_64 version of do_debug(), the code will skip around sending
a SIGTRAP to the current task if the trap occurred while in kernel mode.

On the i386-side of things, if the access happens to occur in kernel mode
(say during a read(2) of user's buffer that matches the address of a
debug register trap), then the do_debug() routine for i386 will go ahead
and call send_sigtrap() and send the SIGTRAP signal.  The send_sigtrap()
code will also set the info.si_addr to NULL in this case (even though I
don't understand why, since the SIGTRAP siginfo processing doesn't use
the si_addr field...).

So I would like to suggest that the x86_64 do_debug() routine also
follow this type of behavior and have it go ahead and send the
SIGTRAP signal to the current task, even if the debug register trap
happens to have occurred in kernel mode.  I have taken a stab at
a patch for this change below.  (It includes the i386-ish change
for setting si_addr to NULL when the trap occurred in kernel mode.)

It seems like a useful feature to be able to 'watch' a user location that
might also be modified in the kernel via a system service call, and have the
debugger report that information back to the user, rather than to just
silently ignore the trap.

Additionally, I realize that users that pull in a kernel debugger such as
KGDB into their kernel might want to remove this change below when they add
in KGDB support.  However, they could alternatively look at the current
task's thread.debugreg[] values to see if the trap occurred due to KGDB
or instead because of a user-space debugger trap, and still honor the
user SIGTRAP processing (instead of the KGDB breakpoint processing)
if the trap matches up with the thread.debugreg[] registers.
